When Cole killed Ormond at Rock inghaii) all the newspaper accounts agreed that the manufacturer went up to tile cx-sprvice man from an angle that left the latter unaware of an enemy presence until the firing began, ami that Ormond was unarmed, had no weapon on hie person. Recently it lias been brought out for the de ft’ ise that there was a pisto! in a I ; Docket of the Ormond car. on the left hand side, poeket buttoned down. It is admitted that the deceased sat on tlie right hand side of the car, smok ing a cigarette. If he had been ex pecting an attack he would certainly bare had the pistol in a more con venient position, provided there was one in the ear. But the defense, which little by little is indicating the grounds on which it expects a verdict of not guilty, is intimating that in view of threatening letters written the defendant by the deceased that the former had a reason to ex pect attack and that the pistol in the car is evidtnee of the purpose of the deceased. Presently we may hear that Ormond really drove up to the Cole office and defied his enemy, dared him to come out: or that Ormond ad vanced on Colt and the latter retreat ed "to the \y|ll,” after which he fired in self-defense. If* you have cap able lawyers black may be made to appear white when a life is in jeop ardy. Furthermore there is intimation that Cole’s daughter, former sweet heart of Ormond, will testify in behalf of her father, and there are also inti mations of the "unwritten law." which wc arc free to hope are not true. Os course the young woman may be expected to help her father if*she can. That is natural; and the public will hope that she will come off the witness stand with the same respect that has been accorded her since the unfortunate tragedy in which she Is to an extent involved because of the fact that the dead man had been her lover.
